Eidsvollbygningen er viktig i norsk historie, det var her Riksforsamlingen forfattet Norges grunnlov i 1814.
Bygningen ble oppført ca. 1770. Slik den framstår i dag, er bygningen resultatet av en omfattende ombygging og modernisering i årene rundt 1800 av Carsten Anker, som kjøpte Eidsvoll Jernverk i 1794 og bosatte seg der i 1811. Da bygningen sto ferdig, var den en av de største og mest moderne private boliger i landet. Inspirasjon hadde man fått fra daværende moderne dansk og fransk arkitektur. Bygningen bærer stilmessig preg av klassisistisk arkitektur. Den samlede gulvflate for bygningen er over 2 000 kvadratmeter med begge etasjer loft og kjeller (Skal settes i stand til 2014). Grunnflaten er på 600 kvadratmeter.
Hovedbygningen flankeres av to frittstående paviljonger. Den nordre, som nå er museumsbutikk, var Eidsvoll verks kontorbygning. Deler av arbeidernes lønn ble utbetalt her i form av mat.
Eidsvollsbygningen is a historic Manor House in Eidsvoll in Norway where the Constitution of Norway was made and signed on 17 May 1814. The building was first constructed in 1770 with a total floor area of over 2000 square meters. Around 1800 Carsten Anker bought the building, he renovated it and he and his family lived there when the Constitution was signed. The building has now become a museum. It has been renovated twice since Carsten Anker and his family lived there. Carsten Anker went bankrupt in 1822 and the estate was sold at auction in 1823. A group of private citizens by Henrik Wergeland organized a fundraiser that allowed them to buy the building with the pavilion and the garden. The first renovation took place in 1895 and the second in 1964. Both renovations were based on how they thought it looked like in 1814. Another renovation is due to start in September 2011 by the Ministry of Culture and Church Affairs. The aim of the renovation is to have the building laid out and redesigned to make it look as close as possible to what it looked like in 1814 to further immerse the audience in a more authentic experience. The project is to be completed in 2014 when the Constitution to Norway is 200 years old. The museum will remain open in the renovating period.
